State Food Dealers To Talk Sales Tax
A C Pitts head of the sales tax division of the State Revenue Department said he would confer with the Alabama Food Council on a new sales tax collection regulation effective Jan 1. The rule requires wholesalers to separate wholesale from retail sales and ID cash sales to licensed retailers with the retailers tax account numbers. If wholesalers cannot show sales to retail accounts, they face the 2 percent tax, conservatively estimating about 10 million dollars in owed revenue from unidentified wholesale or retail sales in 1940 and 1945. Pitts argues the regulation protects wholesalers and the state by reducing tax liability and ensuring proper collection.
